Too conservative, the progress compare to competitor is too slow.

Manage the different departments to work together, not every department hold their own not willing to take responsibility.

Pros

Delphi used to be a company with strong engineering and technology

Cons

Delphi is one of the poorest executing companies in the automotive industry. All big companies have bureaucratic wastes and excesses, but Delphi goes to the extremes. The sacred cow reigns in Delphi even if in the face of bankrupcy and insolvency the sacred cows still stand. For employees in business functions above mid level reporting lines and ownership are very misconstrued because of its complex matrix structure (regions, functions, product lines, customers)

Advice to Senior Management

Fire them, we have been in bankrupcy for 3 years and other than stripping benefits and firing a lot of people nothing has changed. Yes our retirees take up huge amounts of our capital assets, but Delphi's ultimate problem is 3rd rate products (because no money has been invested in them in 5-6 years) built in wasteful plants (delphi only knows how to do a business if it is 500K units or more a year, for any volume lower than that, they don't have equipment or processes to compete) The compnay is very short sited in everything it does (how they develop products, choose suppliers, calculate costs, estimate return on investment...)
